Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
